[imp] Login failed - Groupware Webmail Edition 1.1

[Steve Paras-Charlton]

I had a similar problem when I went from an older packaged horde/imp to
cvs about 8 months ago, and it turned out to be due to an older version
of php (specifically php-imap) where the parameter list for the
authenticate call had changed, and thus it always failed without even
trying to contact the imap server (I verified this with tcpdump).  IMAP
login in horde worked fine, as it wasn't trying to set a mailbox (IIRC).
I solved this by upgrading the machine from Ubuntu Feisty to Ubuntu
Gutsy at the time, but I'm afraid I don't recall the php versions...
